Administrative body's email decision on appeal invalidates penalty for late decision failure.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Council of State dismissed the appellant's appeal against the lower court's finding that no penalty was due. The appellant argued that an email decision lacked legal effect, but the court confirmed that emails can serve as valid administrative decisions. Consequently, the authority acted within the statutory two-week limit following the initial notice, precluding any penalty.
